Iconoclast?

Whatsssup yaw....

I don't feel like writing anything heavy here. So, if ANY of YOU would like me to write something or anything of all sorts....challenge accepted. Yes, anything.

Read through something called "Iconoclast" and thought it would be enjoyable to read....and after 8 pages....I fell asleep, literally. Don't get me wrong here. It's not that the book is boring. It's just that some of the words are beyond me comprehension and IT'S A BOOK! I could hang on a little longer if they made it into a video....

The book started out with the story of Howard Armstrong, the guy who created the FM which proved higher fidelity than AM freq. He's an example of iconoclast.

The iconoclastic brain differs in 3 functions: perception, fear response and social intelligence.
To see things differently from others, the most effective solution is to bombard the brain with things it had never encountered before. Novelty releases the perceptual process from the shackles of past experience and forces the brain to make new judgement. The iconoclast embraces novelty.
Novelty triggers fear. Fear of uncertainty, public ridicule and inability to persuade.
Social intelligence depends on perception, but perception itself is subject to social forces.
